摘要
This study detected 60 cases of patients of later surgical cleft palate repairing with different operative procedures,based on nasopharyngeal fiberscope and image processing detective system of nasopharyngeal function.They were divided into two groups,30 cases with Furlow's double reversing Z plasty,and others with traditional palatoplasty.The results were as follows:the type of velopharyngeal closure with later palatoplasty mainly were circus,semi-circus,and the rate of operative success only was 46.6%,which was lower than other reports.Author described that compensation of lateral and posterior pharyngeal wall made the type of velopharyngeal closure.The elder the age,the more the compensation is.For the late cleft palate repair,although the variable surgical procedure made a condition for speech improvement, patients with later cleft palate repair still can't improve their phonation.
